Hon. VIM. E. Morrison of Illinois is
quoted as saying that 10 good will come
of the present congress. His being left
out of the make up by the voters of the
Eighteenth Illinois district is the first ex-
cuse that suggests itself for the declara-
ton; still he may speak by the card,
having but recently occupied high po-
sition in the councils of the party that
controls congressional legislation. How
ever that may be we can promise Mr..
Morrison that if something of relief does
lot come of this congress the country
will know why, and will see to it that
the control of legislation and of the gov
eminent is put into hands that will do
something.

The pension committee of congress
has formulated its plans and arranged
for their presentation early in the ses-
sion Of the fiftieth congress. The plans
embrace the following: \ re-enactment
of the arrears law; a pension for all who
were prisoners of war: increased pen
sions for the several disabilities: pen
sion of not less than Sl2 month to all
who served three months or more. and
who are now in any manner disabled.
and an equalization of bounties. The
indignation raised Throughout the coun-
try at the presidents act of vetoing the
bill passed by the last congress will
surely serve as a pointer to that func-
tionary for his future guidance. The
bill prepared by the committee will be
passed as presented. beyond a peradven-
ture. and Mr.. Cleveland dare not with

The EAGLE predicted last summer that
Mr.. Cleveland would be renominated by
his party next year. Since reading his
last message, however, we are inclined
to take back our prediction. He has put
himself square outside the Democratic
party when he said: "Our scheme of
taxation by means of which this needless
surplus is taken from the people and pat
into the public treasury, consists of a
tariff or duty levied upon importations
from abroad and internal revenue taxes
levied upon the consumption of tobacco
and spirituous and malt liquors. 1t
must be conceded that none of the things
subjected to internal revenue taxation
are, strictly speaking, necessaries." 1t
is our opinion the Democrats Of the
country will rupudiate any man who
claims whisky is not one Of the neces-
sarieS Of life

We clip the following from the New
York Christian Advocate, as indicating
the impression the public building of a
town or city makes on the minds of III
telligent, thoughtful men:
In visiting city turn first to the pub
lie buildings, secondly 10 the private resi-
dences. First to the public buildings. be
cause they indicate in a certain way, the
wealth of the city as derived from the taxes
upon the property that can be found. and
as the property that can be found is always
"A great deal less than the actual property,
the public buildings indicate two things:
the wealth of the place and the public
spirit Of the citizens OF course. this rule
would fail in Tweed regime: but as a
general estimate, it is not very far astray
The character and style OF its build
ings, particularly the business blocks and
residences. is the first thing to attract
the attention of visitors to Wichita, and
these have contributed more to the city's
fame abroad than perhaps any other fea-
ture. No city of It's size On the continent
can surpass it in this respect.

Topeka has had her heart set on dam
ming the river at that place for the pur-
pose of utilizing the water power thus
obtained in the manufacturing enterpris-
. es in prospect in that city. The matter
came before the city council Monday
and an ordinance was passed providing
the necessary franchise, etc, but the
mayor felt constrained to interpose his
official objection, on the ground that the
proposed dam would seriously interfere
with the city's sewerage system. And
now the papers that had favored the
scheme named have turned their atten-
ton to damning the mayor, and the city
seems to be dead eddy, so to speak.

Farmers generally are manifesting a
good degree of interest in the sugar
question. Wherever a move is inaugu-
rated to put up sugar making estab-
lishment the farmers of the vicinity have
promptly seconded the move by pledg-

land to cane. From the large number of

night and produced great CONSERVATION
among the people of the region, but no
plausible reason for IL could be assigned. A
letter has Just been received from Lincoln
County, West Virginia, which clears away
the mystery. The letter says that few days
ago, while lumbermen were floating logs
down Big Ugly Creek, they came to an OBJ
struction which did not exist when they
passed up to cut the timber a month before.
The bed of the stream was completely filed
with huge fragments of stone, newly separ-
ated, while similar fragments were strewn
about among the timber at the foot of the
mountain down the side Of which they had
evidently been rolled, as the timber and un-
derwood was much brokeR. The top of the
mountain, mainly on the side toward the
stream, showed huge, erater.like scar, and
the observers could see a large column of
steam arising from it. The lumbeTmen were
afraid to venture up, but reported the dis
covery at Hamlin, the county seat. The let
ter says the whole county is excited over the
matter, and it is regarded as the source OF the
tremors and explosions heard and felt.

Canadian Fisheries Question.
Inecfal Ia the Sen tineI

WAsHTEGTOE, Jan. 1.-THE fisheries q1es-
ton, which is still unsettled between New
England and Canada, remains vexed prob
lem and may yet be decided by the arbiIra-
ment OF arms 1t is net likely that Great
Britain Will lower its unreasonable demands
while our coast remains defenseless and the
navyIs helpless against the modern men-of-
war OF England that can destroy city while
eight miles out at sea. Bet unless this ques-
ton can be determined to the satisfaction of
Americans it is evident that it will eventual
ly preciPitate war. There is only one true
solution. only one just and honorable settle
ment, and that is the freedom of the high seas
to any one or everybody; the right TO take
hsh anywhere they can be caught.
One nation has no more rgLt to
monopOlize the seE than it has to corner all
the air and sunshine oil the skies. This is
the complexion into which it must come at
last. Neither Britannia nor any of the ego
tistic, oyergrown and insolent powers should
be permitted to aggrandize itself to the detri-
ment OF other nations or people. The cues
tion Is big enc, and 1t will take millions of
money and thousands of lives to settle it:
but 1T Is lesson of equal justice that must
be administered. America is the boy who can
do 1t, and the surplus may yet find plenty of
employment in that direction. Diplomacy,
treacherous game of finesse and catch-all-
you-csn, is vainly en6eavoring to settle the
trouble.

Sc. stephens Parish.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE trades unions
have decided to support Rev. DR.. McGlynn
in his trouble with Archbishop Corrgan. At
the meeting of the Central Labor Union in
Clarendon Hall yesterday there was little
else done but to discuss the question and to
make arrangements to give DR.. McGlynn an
earnest, active support. Soon after the open
ing OF the meeting Delegate Robert Grove, of
the Tailors' Union, took the floor, and, after
an earnest speech in favor of DR.. McGlynn,
urged that she Central Labor Union call

Glyrn from st. Stephens Parish. In ac-
cOrdance with Mr. Crowe's suggestion, COM

that while DR.. McGlynn bad been deposed
from the pss,orate OF st. Stephens, he is
still the pastor of the greatest congregation
on the face of the earth, a congregation
which included men OF all creeds. The fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That the woTkingmen Of this
city be requested by the Central Labor
Union to attend the mass meeting to be held
tomorrow evening in Cooper Institute to

The position taken by the Democratic
members of the General Assembly at the
opening of the present session, and which
has been vallantly held despite the infa-
nous methods adopted by the revolutionlsts
of the House, was materially strengthened
yesterday by the decision of Judge Alex. c..
Ayres, of the Circuit Court, in the case of
Hon. A. G. Smith against Colonel r. S. Rob-
ertson, involving the right to exercise the
functions of the Office of Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor. The case is one Of paramount inn
portance, not only to the political parties,
but to all the people of the State, and it has
received widespread attention owing to the
fact that the outcome of the difficulty would
be accepted as weighty precedent in shap.
ing the political future of the
Commonwealth. Additional interest was
given to the case by the manifest
determination of the Republicans to use the
Office in dispute to further their schemes to
steal the Legislature and fraudulently re-
elect Mr. Harrison to the United States
Senate.
To one class Of citizens, the lawyers, the
case was especially interesting, and to those
OF the profession who have watched the
proceedings as lawyers, ana not as men IN
terested in the success of either political
party, yesterdays decision was in no sens
unexpected; in fact, the ablest attorneys of the
State who had investigated the questions in
volved, save Senator Harrison's law firm
and like Republican attorneys of the offen-
sively partisan order, expressed the opinion
sometime ago that when the case came be-
fore the courts on its merits it would be held
that Lieutenant Governor could not be
elected in an ''off year" For this reason
the Republicans have strenuously opposed all
Overtures OF legal settlement.
Under the order of the court, which &C.
companied the decision, Colonel Robertson
is enjoined from performing any Of the du-
ties of President of the Senate or presiding
officer, or interfering in any manner with
Senator Smith in the discharge of his duties
as President of the Senate, and the restrain
ing order shall be observed until the further

from Clay, Franklin, Hardin, Lawrence and

prospect for the growing grain is considered
fair to good, while Harper, Lyon and Pawnee

Supreme Court Decisions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day in the murder case of
John Hayes, plaintiff in error. against the
State OF Missouri. Hayes was tried in the
Criminal Court Of st. Louis in 1882 for the
murder of one Mueller on the 26th of
August, 1881. The jury found him guilty
and he was sentenced to death. He has
brought his case to this court by a writ of
error upon the ground that the law OF Mis-.
souri, provides that in capital cases in cities
having population of more than 100, 900 the
State shall be allowed fifteen peremptory chal-
lenges to jurors, while elsewhere in Missouri
the State is allowed in such cases only eight
peremptory challenges. This provision of
the law, the prisoner maintains, operated to
his disadvantage in the trial in st. Louis,
and was denial 20 him of the equal pro,
fiction of the laws" enjOined by the Four
teeHth Amendment of the Federal Constitu.
tion. This court holds that allowing the
State fifteen peTemptOry challenges ia capt
tai cases tried in cities containing a popu-
latlOn Of more than 100, 900 is simply pro
viding against thu difficulty OF securing in
such cases imparti | Juries in cities OF that
size which does not exist in other portions
OF the State. So far from defeating il may
furnish the mesns of giving the equal pro-
lection of the laws" which the Fourteenth
Amendment declares shall not be denied.
There is nothing in the legislation OF Mis-
souri, on this point which is reDugnant to
that amendment, and the judgment OF the
Supreme Court of the State is affirmed

WAsHINGToE, Jan. 1.-THE attempt of the
Journals correspondent to prove Senator
Harrison the champion of the Knights of
Labor is regarded as the broadest farce in
modern drama, and has created hoarse
guffaW among those familiar with the career
of Ben Harrison as Captain Of militia raised
at Indianapolis to shoot down strikers N
1877. If Captain Harrison has any record at
all ii is entirely negative, with one excep-
ton, sld that Is dead against him.
1t is trRs Captain Harrison did present sun
dry petitions of the Knights of Labor in the
Senate, end he did feebly say that they were
worthy people and he hoped they would
receive respectful attention. Where hiss
Captain Harrison been during all these six
years of Senatorial service? What bill has
he offered to carry out the prayer of these
petitions2 There is not bill on the flies of
the Senate offered By Captain Harrison
sounding one note of sympathy fer labor.
This IS not only true, but the only sffirma-
tive record he has made is an utterance
strictly against the interests of the
labor Of the country that he has so
glibiy pIated about when pleading the case of
the monopOlistic and oyer-gorged princely
American manufacturers. Captain Harrison
had hardly got warm in his Senatorial seat
before Senator Grover, of Oregon, offered a
resolution to enlarge the meaning of the word
''laborer" in the Chinese treaty, so as to in
clude ARTISANS and miners" The result of
the treaty against Chinese labor effective
The bloated and insolent monopolists
whom Harrison always voted to protect
were bringing into the country many
thousands of Chinese against the restriction
of the treaty debarring laborers under the
pretext that they were skilled artisans or
miners and this way they we're multiplying
the treaty and setting public law at defiance,
to the injury of starving American labor.
Captain Harrison did not then think he
would need the Knights of Labor vote to
elect him to the United States Senate and
boom him fof the Presidency, so he boldly
and strenuously opposed the expansion of
the meaning of the word labOrer in the
treaty to its legitimate significance, showing
that, while he was willing 20 protect capital,
he heartlessly left the laborer to contend
against the degraded cheap labor of Mon
golia. His record will be found in the pro-
ceedings Of the Senate April q 1880, pages
$3.50 and $3.50, Congressional Record. Let
the Knights of Labor read it, and also read
the resolution offered by Senator Glover and
the debate on it, and they will be satisfied
that Captain Harrison was IN his most orig
inal sphere when he raised the home
guards
